Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer Review, Swatch, & Photos

Rating: 9/10

Sold: Walmart

Price: $6.00

Description: “A lightweight formula that enhances the skin’s texture and primers the skin for makeup application”

Review:

Pros

  • Has a silicone texture so it smooths out the skin perfectly
  • Does not break me out
  • Comes in a 1.6 oz container!
  • Pretty cheap for a drugstore primer
  • No fragrance
  • Not tested on animals
  • Comes in other formulas as well – I have the ultra light formula (I’ve never tried the other ones)
  • Makeup goes on so smooth

Cons

  • Can feel slightly oily to begin with but it just needs to “set”
